Not making money with Forever Living?

Not making money with any MLM?

How to make money with Forever Living?
How to make money with MLM?

Maybe this report done for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) by Jon M. Taylor, MBA, Ph.D., of the Consumer Awareness Institute may have the reason why.

When someone urges you to join an MLM in their downline with tales of the riches you can earn, all they are trying to do is use you to earn themselves more money. They know the stats, they know you won't make money and you will lose money, and friends.

They will lovebomb you, be your best friend, be all over you and then drop you like a stone.

Look at the person who is your uplines facebook. See how the people who were tagged in her statuses a year ago the same way you are tagged now are doing. Are they still with the company? Many won't be. Those who are will still not be doing well, exactly the same as a year ago, or two years ago.

If you are in Forever living, check facebook for the global rally cheques of your upline, notice how they have been going down year on year? The market reached saturation point in 2015, it's downhill since then and things will get worse, not better.

Most MLM's in the UK are at the same point, we are not a huge country and MLM's have reached saturation point.

I don’t think we should assume law of attraction doesn’t work. I’ve had a picture on my fridge of yawn not holding a cheque for months.

Now, I’m not saying it’s definitely the universe but....

I have it on good authority that Yawn has got cheques, and that they are in the post.
Sorry, my mistake... it's the past- Yawn's cheques are in the past.

My suspicion is the hat she is just too modest to have mentioned the cheque. I bet it was huge, but she doesn’t like to brag about material things, so she’s quietly cashed it without saying a word.

It’s definitely how she’d react.

BSintolerant · 03/06/2018 13:59

You're all very naughty! Grin

I suspect she's filtered it out. She seems to get very embarrassed by big things in her photos. Modesty it is then.

Whiterangey · 03/06/2018 14:31

She got a huge cheque, the biggest cheque anyone in the history of anything has ever received.

Then she started the cheque on the C9. With the C9 the results are so quick and effective that it managed to shrink the cheque from a huge cheque to a cheque you can't even see. It's amazing stuff, i've decided to start selling it myself after seeing what happened to Yawns cheque.

I can’t even write through the tears here 🤣

Whiterangey · 03/06/2018 15:26

Look at @NatasheShingles showing off that she can show emotions.

Something the top bots can't do, what with all that botox, not that they have emotions anyway, but still.

I can imagine some people might like a little bit of botox to freshen up the face a bit, bots go overboard so all they can do is grimace instead of smile. A bit like getting your car resprayed when all you need is a bit of T-Cut.

Brokebot appears to have deleted or hidden his medical claims about cannabis oil curing cancer. I can't have been the only person to report it

Tw1nsetAndPearls · 03/06/2018 18:20

I love messiahbot's Corbynesque tag line "launching something for the people" 😂

I want to post this on Broke’s CBD page so badly.

SSDGM · 03/06/2018 18:53

Also, he’s pushing the Melatonin spray far too much for my liking.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 03/06/2018 18:55

Too much punctuation that is not exclamation marks for him to make sense if.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 03/06/2018 18:55

Twentytwentyhindsight · 03/06/2018 18:57

I did report the melatonin-shilling post (in which he says in the comments that it is fine for kids aged above two "at parent's' discretion"), but it's still there.

Tw1nsetAndPearls · 03/06/2018 18:58

I started off feeling sorry for broke however he has a family depending on him. For their sake he should stop playing at being a business man and get a job

NatashaShingles · 03/06/2018 19:29

Pretty sure it’s against Facebook policy to advertise or sell prescription only drugs. I also think it’s against policy to advertise any MLM without a company name and details. I could be wrong but I’m sure that’s what we found last year

Twentytwentyhindsight · 03/06/2018 20:04

@NatashaShingles - Regardless of FB rules, it is illegal for him to be selling prescription-only drugs to people in the UK, I couldn't get through to my local Trading Standards on the phone, so emailed them with a screenshot of the post and comments.

NatashaShingles · 03/06/2018 20:33

@twenty contact MHRA they were quicker to act regarding melatonin products last year! They also have more power with overseas companies than TS

Whiterangey · 03/06/2018 20:33

He said it's okay for children over 2 at parents discretion? WTF?

Melatonin is very safe, including in children, however, if your child is really not sleeping, i'm talking about can't sleep, not just being a bit of a git, there could be a problem that melatonin could mask.

If when I took my child for the first meeting with CAMHS when things were going totally wrong, if I hadn't said how terrible her sleeping was, she may not have received her diagnosis of ADHD and ASD, well she would have received the ASD regardless, but with ADHD not being able to sleep is a huge symptom. Melatonin does work for that and sleeping is fine now, just not without the melatonin.

I had no idea she had ASD until we walked into that office, I thought it was a clear cut case of ADHD because I didn't know what to look for, and it can present differently with girls than with boys, it would have terrible if the diagnosis had been missed. She went from feeling like she was a freak because she was different, to celebrating her differences and realising she is fine the way she is, so the diagnosis was vital.

@NatashaShingles - Thanks, I will try to do that in the next couple of days. I'm a bit snowed under by my biznis at the mo.

cozietoesie · 03/06/2018 20:46

Y'all may have saved .......someone's business. If I were the 'organisation' I'd be rushing a 'special cheque' out directly. Wink

Hi I wonder if you would mind offering me some advice on how to deal with a situation?
I am a fitness instructor and I have covered some classes for another instructor who works at the gym, I have never met her but we all have each others details to arrange cover. She has messaged me saying she has a great business opportunity for me, I replied I have friends into Arbonne and Younique who have tried to recruit me in the past and I am really not interested. She replied it was none of those and also she is giving up her class and would be happy to put a good word in for me but she really wanted to meet up and chat about the opportunity.
I replied saying definitely interested in taking over the class and thank you for that but have no time to take on any business.
She left it a week and has now messaged me again saying am I free to meet up this week!
Any ideas on how to politely rebuff?
Thank you

cozietoesie · 03/06/2018 20:52

I'd send her a link to Elle Beau.
